Book Synopsis
"Listen my children and you shall hear
Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere."
When asked about Paul Revere, this is probably about all the average person could tell you. Elbridge Goss says as much in some of the last words of this book, "But he deserves better than this. His career symbolizes much more than this ride to Lexington, with his 'cry of alarm,' which went 'to every village and farm;' for, besides the various trades in which he exhibited such deft handiwork, he was an important character in many ways."
Goss's book (actually a 2-volume set, which has been combined for this book offering), with the gracious help of the Revere family and the people of Boston, seeks to flesh out the 83-year life of this American patriot.
